Paul DeMain hasn't added a story.
We are the family of 16-year-old Michael DeMain, of
Lac Courte Oreilles, (Hayward, WI) who was seriously injured
in a car accident on the evening of December 28th, 2017.
As of December 31, Michael had been through two different
surgeries to stem internal bleeding, and to fuse/wire fractures on his
pelvis and spine while he remained in a sedated medical coma in order
to rest his body until January 2nd. Because of the accident he lost
the use of one of his kidneys and will face months of rehabilitation.
Michael is a member of the Corbine/Barber clan of the Lac Courte
Oreilles Chippewa tribe and the House/Morrison/Wheelock lineage on his
Oneida side. He is a grandson of the late Cody Enoch, Dakota. After
two weeks in the hospital Michael was released to go home to
recuperate. Beginning on Feb. 5th, he spent a week of rehabilitation
at Miller-Dwan in Duluth before being sent home on crutches. There
will be additional medical issues that Michael may face as he
continues to recuperate.
Thank you for your support for all the unexpected medical,
travel and other expenses that confront a family in these situations.
Many of the initial donations were used to make sure that family
members could travel and stay nearby while he was in Duluth and we
want to thank everybody from the bottom of our heart for their prayers
and all kinds of help. Our family appreciates it.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
